Professional Ambitions, eh?

Since I’ve been spending all my life as a student, sometimes it’s difficult to imagine that soon (in the next year and a half) I will be graduating from The Ohio State University and getting a “real job” in the “real world”.

Getting a job is a funny thing. I've applied for all sorts of jobs in high school, but only the places where I had connections ended up hiring me or even paying attention to my application. I have never held a job where I didn’t know anyone else involved in the organization. I always knew someone else who worked there, the person who ran it was the parent of a friend of mine, or something to that extent. Unfortunately that makes me a little scared about getting a job in the “real world” because I might not know anyone. I guess that’s why networking is so important. Get an internship, meet people, get hired through someone you met or interacted with in some way during school or the internship.

Hopefully, over the next year and a half, I will figure out more of the area in which I would like to work, and learn more about it, along with starting some networking so that I can actually get a job!
